Overview Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever watch movies. If they did, they'd know that making robots into slaves always ends up in a robot rebellion. Why even go down that path? Here at Adafruit we believe in making robots our friends!

The maker John Wargo has recently published to the ITPro website a new tutorial to create your very own connected Raspberry Pi weather station. The tutorial shows a quick approach to creating a connected Raspberry Pi whether station using the official Raspberry Pi Sense HAT.

If you are searching for a Raspberry Pi project to keep you busy why not make your very own “Vomit Comic Robot” which uses the Raspberry Pi mini PC as its brain and will automatically print out a cartoon strip for your amusement when required.

I recently designed and breadboarded a simple Z80 based computer. This was the sort of thing I did for fun and profit years ago. This time it was, well, for fun and profit. But it was a little different. Back in the day I had a drawer full of Erasable Programmable Read-Only memory chips (EPROMs), as well as an EPROM eraser and programmer*. This time I had none of that. So I'd have to get inventive.

If you have young kids, you’ve probably realized that they don’t exactly like to sleep in. While their energy levels are enviable, if their clock-reading skills haven’t yet caught up, this device by maker “JonathonT” looks like a great and simple solution. With help from an Arduino and an RTC module, Jonathon uses a trio of LEDs to show red for “stay in bed,” yellow for “almost time,” and green to indicate “you can get up.” While the current 7:00am starting time might still seem early to some, when compared to his son’s previous 5:30-or-so awakening, this is a huge improvement.

Nice, I was not aware of tesseract. All that was needed was "sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr" (for English language). The problem is When i capture an image of book's page with pi camera, it did not capture image understand by tesseract,, I did only use "tesseract" command line version and not python-tesseract. I downloaded the sample image from documentation: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesser ...

When a new piece of technology comes out, the price is generally so high that it keeps away everyone but the die hard early adopters. But with time the prices inch down enough that more people are wil...
